IDE supports remote programming
AdaCore has launched its remote programming solution, an advanced feature of the company's Gnat Programming Studio (GPS) 4.0 integrated development environment (IDE).
Environment speeds Ada systems development
The Gnat Programming Studio is a sophisticated software development environment for the Ada programming language.
The sophisticated code completion engine understands the details of Ada language semantics, enabling automatic program completion, maximising efficiency and cutting development time.
The new remote programming function allows developers to take advantage of the power and graphical capabilities of their PCs, enabling them to work without incurring bottlenecks on servers.
Version control is now tightly integrated within GPS, enabling better management of large and complex projects, particularly across sisable development teams.

The latest and most advanced version of the Gnat Pro open-source Ada development environment supports all the major new features in Ada 2005.
Software analysis predicts system memory demands
A novel software analysis tool enables development teams to accurately predict the maximum size of the memory stack required to host an embedded software application.
Additionally the user interface has been extensively updated to provide a modern look and feel that ensures that GPS remains easy to use by Ada programmers.
Extended support for new platforms such as x86-64 Linux and PPC AIX further increases the range and usability of GPS 4.0.
"The combination of advanced programming features and its updated interface mean that GPS 4.0 leads the field in Ada development", said Arnaud Charlet, GPS Project Manager at AdaCore.
"We have listened extensively to our customers and provided the most powerful environment yet for professional Ada programmers".
"The increasing use of Ada in major mission-critical software projects around the world demonstrates the need for an advanced development environment", added Robert Dewar, AdaCore's President and CEO.
"The latest version of Gnat Programming Studio delivers further productivity improvements that makes Ada development fast and seamless".
GPS offers advanced features such as multi-language support (including Ada, C, and C++) and is available on a wide range of host environments for both native and cross-development, including Unix, Windows and Gnu/Linux.
An intuitive, unified visual interface, identical across all platforms, serves as a control panel to access tools from AdaCore's Gnat Pro Ada development environment as well as from third parties, easing both development and maintenance.
As a result, GPS is particularly suited for large, complex systems requiring tool chain integration, ease of use, user customisation, and code navigation/analysis.
As with all Gnat Pro components, GPS is distributed with full source code and is backed by AdaCore's rapid and expert online support.
